The document outlines the campaign plan for the Newcastle Cycling Campaign in 2014. The plan includes holding an AGM in March to discuss building a cycling community, organizing a bike rally in May around local elections, and conducting cycle infrastructure tours between June and September. It also encourages members to get involved by using the Cyclescape app to log hotspots, attending events and meetings, writing to local politicians, and sharing their cycling stories online. The overall goal is to mobilize members and shift efforts into a higher gear to promote cycling in Newcastle.
